What role does lighting play in the caves? How might these paintings been used by primitive man? What are the two techniques that the early artists used to paint on the walls of the cave? Why do you think they painted with these images?
The early artists used lighting to show their stories that they drew out on the walls of the cave. These paintings were used to entertain and/or preserve history. The two techniques early artists used to paint on the walls of the cave were juxtaposition of successive images and superimposition. Juxtaposition of successive images were basically multiple drawings of the same subject but in each separate drawing, the subject has a slight difference. The final product is similar to a flip book spread out on a wall. Superimposition is like juxtaposition of successive images but the images are layer on top of each other. I think they painted these images to document what their lives were like.
